According to Tirerack this wheel fits Gen I LS400 but it doesn't fit 98-00 LS. But I just wondered why that is the case.

The specs are as follows:

Size: 17x7.5
Offset: 42mm
Backspacing: 5.86"
Bolt Pattern: 5-114

any idea why it doesn't fit?

please search.

'95-00 LS400's have WAY bigger front brakes and most wheels don't clear them.

If they can fit, definitely get them. I have them on my 95 ls and man do they look good.

If you have them on a 95 then they fit...

you're SURE that you had these exact wheels....?

sorry, when i responded i was on my iphone and didnt count the number of spokes? or whatever youd call them. mine have fewer, but are still a 5-bolt pattern and are identical in all other aspects. pics here. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...er-w-pics.html

I guess I need to find out what kind of spacers I need to clear the big brake calipers. Tire rack don't like to recommend spacers. Any idea? Thanks in advance for your answer / thoughts.

forget spacers, if you're trying to do this on the cheap. good spacers will cost you ~$120-160 and UP. plus if these BBS wheels don't have the flycuts in the back you can't even use the Bolt-on style spacers and have to get your old studs replaced. (labor).

generally, you'd need a 15mm spacer to clear. just buy a set of wheels that fit.

Well it seemed like op implied he had a 98-00, not a 95. So not necessarily bud.

please try not to speak of that which you don't know. misinformation hurts everyone.

'95-00 have the same basic chassis and suspension, and wheel fitment is pretty much identical.

regardless it was pointless anyway since they weren't the right wheels.

OK..... that seems clear enough. I ll walk away from this. they were so nice though........ my search continues.......
